there ya go...more on target now....I like LOS mainly because it works for me and people leave you alone here...would I rather be in Vegas or Boulder...yes, but not so much that I'd lose my federal income tax exemption....




I don't understand your problem with tax exemption....




I don't see where he is concerned about his tax status.  The guy is not an American unless he is a naturalized American.
On Thai Visa there have been a number of posters over the years with the same issue.  They all come from the same country.  I would think this fellow is a remake of one of them.

I don't know about your other comment, but from the quote above, it would seem that this guy is concerned with taxes.

In Topic: Traffic Accident Victim In The Family - And Corrupt Cops

I was hit from behind by a guy driving a motorcycle while I was turning right into a parking lot.  The guy was attempting to pass me in the oncoming traffic lane.  (Each direction had two lanes and the left lane was clear.)  This was at night, and he his light did not work.  He ended up breaking his ankle and my car was damaged.

When the police first arrived, the officer told the pillion rider that they were at fault.  Then the she started crying saying that the guy had no license, no insurance.  The officer asked me if I had insurance, and I said yes.  Suddenly I was at fault.  The officer remarked to my then g/f that he knew I was not at fault, but since I had insurance, he thought we should just let the insurance pay for the guy's medical bills

So OP likes LOS, but the modded tall imports don't. Would the OP then consider a native, if suitably tall and modified ?

If so, then the question changes it's form into where to find one. There, as my preference is totally opposite, I have no clue, but perhaps the good folks of TV could give a pointer or two.

I have no problem with local women. I just don't find the ones here attractive mentally or physically. And they don't dig me either...not the quality that I am into.   I have seen some very pretty Thai girls in Vegas and I even dated one a few times...nice girl.  

thanks for your reply...aside from the possible allusion to katoeys...lol...

I don't understand your problem with tax exemption.  All USAID contractors with whom I have worked received their federal tax exemption (up to the limit) no matter their residency.  And I don't see how changing your destination when leaving the conflict zone changes that.  Most people with whom I worked chose Thailand as their getaway as it was within the distance allowed for a free ticket, was inexpensive, and fit their needs for a week or two of relaxation.  I should point out that this included both male and female employees.

I no longer work for the government but a Thai company.  I am a resident of the US.  Yet I still get my tax exemption as the key is that I earn my salary here.  There is some sort of number of day limit of spending time in the US, but anyone who has a real job should not reach that limit.  And when I was in a conflict zone, that requirement was null and void.

As far as what you consider "hot" women, well, that is all a matter of opinion.  To me, hot is more than superficial appearances but attitude.  But given your predilection, I still know a number of "hot" (by your definition) western women who have made their homes here in Thailand and are seemingly quite happy about it.

In Topic: Fried Frog Legs?

2012-05-19 16:32:36

Chef McDang has come out strongly against what he considers is the perversion of traditional Thai cuisine.  When castigating a somewhat famous non-Thai chef recently, he used frog legs as an example.  He contends that frogs are smelly, so you cannot stir-fry them as this chef does.  You have to boil them in galangal or grill them.

I am certainly not an expert it the preparation of frogs.  And I was a little taken aback while watching Taboo last night where they showed the making of frog "smoothies" in Peru.  But I guess the Thais have certain ways to prepare frogs which are different from other cuisines.

In Topic: El Sapo Salsa

Villa Soi 11 regularly stocks Dr. Pepper cans, so I'd assume the one at Suk Soi 31 area does as well. The A&W Root Beer cans I've seen are cheap, locally priced and perhaps locally produced, whereas the Dr. Pepper is imported and a bit pricey for a can of flavored sugar water.

Except that I buy the Diet, so it is a bit pricey for a can of flavored "no-sugar" water.  Posted Image

Now as far as salsa goes, buying a jar of processed salsa is economically silly when you can make perfectly good fresh salsa at home.  But I still buy it, and I buy El Sapo in particular.  It tastes pretty good, but the convenience factor is what seals the deal for me.  When  am planning in advance tacos or something, I get all the ingredients, so i can make my own salsa if I desire.  But when I get in the mood for huevos rancheros (actually, I scramble the eggs, so I guess they are not technically huevos rancheros), all I need are eggs in the fridge, maybe an onion, and my salsa-in-a-jar.  If I want to make my salsa, I will invariably not have a fresh chili, cilantro, or some ingredient.
